In this case, you are implying that you want to convert varchar data to binary. I don't think that can be done automatically. The error might be misleading.

If that's the only field, it shouldn't give that error, but a table consisiting of only a binary field seems like it's not very useful. Is a blob out of the question? it only takes up 16bytes of the page. Yould definetely need to export/import then.

You should be able to add a binary column, or export the data, recreate the table with a binary field, and then import the data, with suitable massaging.
